An overview of multi-board Match Lengths in Allegro.

A 3-minute overview video on OrCAD PCB Editor, OrCAD Capture, and PSpice.

This week’s Working with OrCAD video, Copper, discusses and the many features Cadence provides designers when dealing with copper shapes in addition to a few design best practices. It covers how to add various types of solid copper elements, sectioning plane layers, etc. It also reviews the different ways copper can be added to a layer (dynamic, solid copper, or crosshatch) and the merging of copper shapes.

Allegro Sigrity PI Base and the PI Signoff and Optimization option from Cadence are demonstrated.

See how OrCAD and SOLIDWORKS can help you collaborate seamlessly with your engineering peers.

Automation sounds good in theory. Think of all the time you could save with auto-routers… if only you could maintain control. That’s what makes auto-interactive routing so powerful. You’re in complete control of the big picture and the important details, but all that stuff in between is taken care of.

The New Allegro PCB Symphony Team Design provides dynamic concurrent PCB team design for multiple PCB designers to work on the same design at the same time without any set-up requirements.

Sigrity technologists guide you step by step on how to use the Sigrity Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) simulator to accurately predict the impact of simultaneous switching noise (SSN) in a system context. A PCB layout is directly connected to a system topology without having to perform an S-parameter extraction. This “FDTD-direct” methodology overcomes the challenge faced by SI engineers who fear accuracy could be compromised when converting an S-parameter to a simplified broadband spice model.
